By Chanel September 25 July 2005

The Koeberg power station’s Unit 2 reactor is expected to operate at full capacity, after the refuelling and maintenance of the unit is expected to be completed at the end of this week.

The unit was synchronised to the national network and its power level would be gradually increased over the next few days.

Eskom said that during the gradual return to full power of Unit 2, various tests and inspections would be done.

According to the Cape Times Unit 1 has been operating at full capacity, supplying the Western Cape with 900MW since last month.
